Enrico Napoletano

Enrico Napoletano, son of Italian parents, was born in Venezuela in 1974. After exhibiting in numerous galleries and receiving recognition for his artworks in his native country, he returned to Italy as an architect with a master's degree in Philosophy, specifically in the art city of Florence, to continue his artistic education. During his stay in Florence, he won the first prize for the best sculpture, an award bestowed upon him by the former director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Professor Domenico Vigggiano. He continued his journey throughout Italy, exhibiting in cities such as Rome, Spoleto, Turin, among others, and participating in various events, including the International Cannes Festival. He was interviewed by the Voyage Houston magazine in the United States, which featured him in their biweekly publication in the Art & Life section. He was also selected for an exclusive catalog, curated by Dr. Elena Gollini, an art expert, who wrote an excellent critical review of his work. His work is the result of immense psychic and intellectual elaboration and a synthesis of lived experiences that managed to strip away the unnecessary and gather what is fundamental to him. In this process, he recognized that he doesn't paint what he sees but illustrates what he feels or imagines, added to his cultural baggage as an architect, philosopher, and author of two published poetry books. He emptied the room and filled it with spontaneous forms, made from a variety of mechanical parts, which sometimes appear to be deconstructed, as if it were an inductive process or simply building non-existent forms. In recent years, he gave life to such a great variety of forms that allowed him to explore himself artistically and thus synthesize his language. This synthesis led him to convert these mechanical parts into vehicles that can both exist and emerge entirely from within in the creation of his own toys.
